Two men shoot dead Indian man in Carcar

- Mellanie Joy C. Rosales -

CEBU, Philippines – An Indian national was killed by two unidentified men yesterday noon at sitio Lumboy, barangay Liboron, Carcar City, Cebu.

Police identified the victim as Dohlinder Comar, 39, from sitio Luan-Luan, barangay Poblacion II, Carcar City.

Police said that Comar went to sitio Lumboy to collect money from his clients leaving his motorcycle by the roadside to go to the interior portion.

When he returned to his motorcycle, two men on board another motorbike went near him and both pulled out guns and shot Comar several times.

The Indian national tried to run for his life, but the assailants chased him and fired another shot.

Victim sustained gun shot wounds on the left side of his head, another on his neck that exited to the other side, and on his back and chest. He died on the spot.

Police theorized that the assailants were hired guns.

They were able to recover seven empty shells of caliber .45 and 9 mm.

Police said that they cannot say that motive of the said killing is robbery since the money that Comar collected amounting to P18,000 that was in his pocket and his jewelry and watch were not taken.

SPO4 Ruben Renes said that one of the angles they are focusing on is personal grudge since last June 26, police responded after Comar’s wife asked for help when one Del Harender Singh, also an Indian national, went to their house carrying a firearm looking for Comar.

“Among nadakpan ug napasakaan namo ug kasong Illegal Possession of Firearms si Singh human namo makuha sa iya ang usa ka .45 nga kalibre sa armas,” Renes added.

Sr. Supt. Erson Digal, director of the Cebu Provincial Police Office (CPPO), ordered Chief Insp. Ali Baron, chief of the Carcar City Police Station to speed up the investigation.

This is the second time a businessman was killed in the said place.

Last July 12, Eric Uraca, 34, owner of a shop selling motor parts and accessories was shot to death by two men, who are allegedly guns for hire.

He was shot in front of his store at J.P. Rizal Street, barangay Poblacion I, Carcar City.

With the help of witnesses, police were able to arrest the two men who killed Uraca. They also identified the mastermind of the killing.

Last Saturday, a businessman was killed in Toledo City also in an apparent robbery.

The victim was identified as Proceso Anonas, owner of a hardware store. (THE FREEMAN)
